WHY  HOOSIER  FENCES  ARE  BETTER 


EMERSON  SAYS:  “If  a  man  can  write  a  better  book,  preach  a  better  sermon,  or  make  a  better  mouse  trap 
than  his  neighbor,  though  he  build  his  house  in  the  woods,  the  world  will  make  a  beaten  path  to  his  door.” 


HEN  competitors  are  striving  each  against  the  other  in  their 
efforts  to  produce  the  lowest  priced  fence,  quality  is  sure  to 
suffer,  and  a  fence  slighted  in  quality  is  dear  at  any  price. 
Buying  a  cheap  fence  is  not  economy — it’s  a  lamentable  waste 
of  good,  hard-earned  money. 

We  began  the  manufacture  of  HOOSIER  FENCES  almost  a  quar¬ 
ter  of  a  century  ago  and  they  at  once  became  immensely  popular 
not  only  because  they  were  attractive,  but  because  quality  was  self- 
evident,  even  at  the  first  glance;  and  so  we  prospered  nicely.  Then 
came  the  competitors — they  always  follow  in  the  wake  of  every  great 
success.  However,  our  competitors  soon  learned  that  it  was  no  easy 
matter  getting  orders  away  from  an  established  firm  with  a  reputation 
for  making  thoroughly  reliable  fences.  What  were  they  to  do?  Well, 
cutting  prices  seemed  to  be  their  only  hope,  and  that’s  what  they  did; 
but  you  can  rest  assured  they  had  to  use  cheaper  and  lighter 
material  in  their  fences  in  order  to  do  it. 

This  competition  hurt  us  for  a  while,  we’ll  frankly  admit.  The 
people,  relying  on  pictures  alone,  had  the  idea  that  ornamental 


fences  were  all  alike  and  imagined  they  were  getting  a  bargain  at 
the  lower  prices.  One  thing  is  certain,  however,  nobody  is  going  to 
recommend  an  unsatisfactory  fence  to  their  friends  and  neighbors,  and 
personal  recommendations  were  selling  more  HOOSIER  FENCES  than 
all  of  our  advertising.  We  knew  that  a  reaction  was  bound  to  occur 
and  after  that  fences  would  be  bought  on  merit  alone.  Right  then  and 
there  we  determined  to  hold  fast  to  our  higher  ideals — to  practice  every 
known  economy  in  manufacturing  and  selling — to  ask  only  a  very,  very 
small  per  cent,  of  profit — and  to  return  to  the  buyer  in  quality  all 
that  we  could  save  by  these  economies.  So  while  HOOSIER  FENCES 
cost  only  a  trifle  more  than  the  very  cheapest,  they  represent  the  best 
fence  value  that  can  be  bought  anywhere. 

^TT  This  policy  gradually  turned  the  tide  of  business  our  way  again, 
^-‘‘"•as  we  were  sure  it  would.  Now  we  no  longer  fear  competition 
of  any  kind.  Thus  we  have  a  very  definite  reason  for  making  HOOSIER 
FENCES  better— doing  so  has  brought  us  success.  Our  reasons  “How” 
and  “In  what  particulars”  HOOSIER  FENCES  are  better  are  no  less 
definite.  You'll  find  them  on  the  following  pages. 


For  cemeteries,  churches,  schools,  parks,  etc.,  Hoosier  Fences  have  never  been  equaled.  Special  prices  on  large  orders.

IN  filling  an  order  for  complete  fence,  it  is  necessary  that  we  know 
exactly  how  it  is  to  be  built,  that  we  may  send  the  proper  number 
and  kind  of  posts  and  fittings.  For  that  reason  we  require  a  rough 
diagram  with  each  order,  as  per  examples  given. 

d  Indicate  the  fence  by  straight  lines  and  the  gates  by  openings.  Give 
the  exact  length  to  each  stretch  of  fence  between  corner,  end  or  gate 
posts,  as  the  case  may  be.  It  is  only  necessary  to  measure  from  one 
large  post  to  another,  as  we  do  not  charge  for  fencing  to  fill  the  gate 
spaces  and  for  the  gates,  too,  as  some  manufacturers  do.  State  size  of 
gates  wanted,  and  for  drive  gates  advise  whether  single  or  double  gates 
are  wanted. 

CL  If  fence  is  to  be  on  a  grade,  state  how  much  and  where  grade  begins 
and  ends.  If  fence  is  to  be  set  on  a  stone  coping  or  wall,  give  width, 
and  height  of  wall,  also  width  and  height  of  gate  openings,  in  case  gates 
are  to  drop  below  the  wall. 

CL  Be  sure  all  your  measurements  are  correct,  as  fence  will  be  made  ac¬ 
cording  to  your  diagram.  Remember,  the  wire  fabric  in  a  complete  fence 
is  six  inches  lower  than  the  braided  top  wire,  to  which  we  always  meas¬ 
ure  when  specifying  the  height  of  a  complete  fence. 

ALWAYS  GIVE  CATALOG  NUMBER  OF  FENCE  WANTED. 


BEFORE  AND  AFTER 

These  two  photographs  tell  more  eloquently  than  we  can  in  words,  just  how  much  a  Hoosier  Fence  will  improve  the  appearance  of  any 
home.  It  is  impossible  to  have  a  nice,  clean  lawn,  unless  it  is  protected.  A  Hoosier  Fence  not  only  protects,  but  also  beautifies  a  lawn.

Royal  Lawn  Fence 

The  Royal  and  Peerless  Fences  are  designed  to  meet  the  demand  for  a  lower-priced  fence  than  shown  on  preceding  pages.  The  Picket  is  made  by  twisting  two 
strands  of  Galvanized  wire  into  one,  equal  in  size  to  a  No.  8  gauge  wire.  Thus,  the  artistic  appearance  is  maintained,  and  in  connection  with  the  close  mesh  and  sub¬ 
stantia]  Steel  Frame,  makes  an  exceedingly  serviceable  and  handsome  Fence.

Stone  or  Concrete  Wall  Fence 

The  above  illustration  shows  our  Standard  Ideal  Fence  No.  122,  as  it  appears  on  a  stone  wall.  In  fences  intended  for  stone  or  concrete  walls,  wTe  omit  the  reg¬ 
ular  post  bases,  and  either  equip  the  posts  with  special  flanges  for  attaching  to  the  wall,  or  cut  the  posts  long  enough  to  go  into  the  wall  10  inches.  The  flanges 
are  fastened  to  the  wall  with  bolts  which  are  secured  in  place  with  lead  or  cement.  Where  flanges  are  not  used,  holes  are  drilled  in  the  wall  just  a  little  larger  than 
the  posts  and  the  posts  are  secured  by  flushing  cement  around  them.  The  latter  is  really  the  easiest  way  of  erecting  the  fences. 

Complete  specifications  of  these  fences  will  be  found  on  page  6.  Owing  to  the  posts  being  without  bases,  the  price  is  somewhat  lower  than  that  of  our  regular 
fences.  Deduct  3  cents  per  foot  from  the  prices  on  page  6,  and  you  will  have  the  price  of  the  Standard  Ideal  Fence  for  stone  wall. 

In  ordering,  be  careful  to  state  exact  distance  between  ends  of  walls  at  the  gate,  height  of  wall  above  the  ground,  and  whether  or  not  gates  are  to  stand  on  a 
level  with  fence  at  top  and  bottom. 


ABOUT 

OUR 

NEW 

FENCES 


OMETIMES  it  is  desirable  to  use  a  closer  woven  fabric  than  the  HOOSIER  line  has  here¬ 
tofore  contained,  so  this  year  we  have  added  some  new  designs,  in  both  crimped  and  twisted 
wire  fabrics.  The  openings  in  these  fences  are  made  as  small  as  1%  inches,  which  is 
close  enough  to  prevent  even  the  smallest  chicken  from  creeping  through.  A  detailed  de¬ 
scription  of  each  new  fabric  is  given  on  page  23. 

CL  The  framework  for  the  complete  fences  using  these  new  fabrics,  will  be  the  same  as  that  of 
our  Royal  and  Peerless  fences.  Of  course,  it  is  not  quite  so  heavy  as  the  frames  of  our  Standard 
and  Heavy  fences,  yet  it  makes  a  most  substantial  fence — one  that  we  are  anxious  to  have  you 
compare  with  any  fence  of  a  similar  price. 

Cl  These  new  fences  are  of  the  same  high  quality  that  has  always  characterized  HOOSIER 
products,  and  we  know  they  will  make  friends  rapidly.  While  some  parts  are  a  trifle  lighter  than 
our  higher  priced  fences,  we  have  in  no  instance  used  inferior  material  to  make  the  lower  prices. 
You  will  observe  that  we  use  2-inch  end  and  gate  posts,  1%-inch  line  posts,  and  1-inch  railing. 
On  the  large  posts  you  will  find  a  16-lb.  cast  gray  iron  base,  and  on  the  line  post  a  10-lb.  base  of 
the  same  construction.  Any  manufacturer  who  tries  to  persuade  you  to  buy  a  fence  with  any¬ 
thing  but  gray  iron  bases  is  looking  out  for  his  own  profit,  and  not  for  your  interests.  It  would 
be  cheaper  for  us  to  use  wrought  steel  bases,  or  even  lighter  cast  bases,  but  we  intend  to  make  a 
dependable  fence.  Read  page  30. 

CL  Taken  as  a  whole,  these  fences  are  an  exceptional  bargain  and  are  backed  by  a  Company  that 
has  never  sold  an  unsatisfactory  fence.

HOOSIER  PRICES 

have  always  been  as  low  as  were  consistent  with 
good  material  and  good  workmanship.  When 
comparing  our  prices  with  those  of  competitors, 
don’t  fail  to  compare  quality  and  size  of  material 
as  well  as  price.  If  you  do,  you  will  find  that 
Hoosier  products  offer  far  better  value  than  you 
can  get  elsewhere  for  the  same  money. 

REMEMBER,  there  are  no  extras  to  pay  for 
when  you  buy  a  Hoosier  Fence.  We  do  not  charge 
for  fence  to  fill  the  gate  spaces  and  for  gates  too, 
nor  do  we  make  any  extra  charge  for  corner  and 
gate  posts.

Prices  include  all  posts,  railing,  fittings,  etc.,  for

Ideal  Wire  Fabric  on  Wood  Posts 

This  construction  makes  a  neat,  substantial  and  attractive  fence,  at  a  very  moderate  cost.  Any  of  our  wire  fabrics  and  gates  may  be  used  in  the  above  manner, 
or  without  the  railing  and  braided  wire;  however,  if  the  railing  is  omitted,  the  end  and  gate  posts  should  be  braced.  Attachments  for  stretching  and  fastening  the 
fabric  to  wood  posts  will  be  furnished  at  a  small  additional  cost,  when  ordered.  Railing  and  braided  wire  also  furnished  at  reasonable  prices.  Specifications  and 
prices  of  wire  fabrics  on  pages  21,  22  and  23.  We  do  not  furnish  wood  posts. 


Defiance  Wire  Fabric  on  Wood  Posts 

The  very  close  spacing  of  pickets  in  our  Defiance  fabric  makes  it  absolutely  chicken  proof,  consequently  it  is  in  great  demand  for  division  fences,  gardens,  etc., 
where  higher-priced  fences  are  not  advisable.  When  it  is  not  necessary  to  fence  against  very  small  chickens,  our  Champion  fabric  may  be  used,  at  a  still  lower  price. 
We  do  not  claim  that  these  are  as  good  as  our  higher-priced  fabrics,  but  they  are  superior  to  any  crimped  wire  fabric  made  and  are  excellent  value  for  the  price. 
Specifications  and  prices  on  page  23;  Defiance  gates  on  page  25.  We  do  not  furnish  the  wood  posts. 


SOME 

FACTS 

ABOUT 

HOOSIER 

WIRE 

FABRICS 


N  no  other  part  of  an  ornamental  fence  is  it  so  easy  to  skimp  and  to  substitute  inferior 
material  and  workmanship  as  in  the  wire  fabrics.  Pictures  themselves  are  no  proof  of 
quality.  Another  firm  might  show  in  their  catalog  a  fabric  looking  exactly  like  our  Ideal 
fabric,  for  instance,  and  yet  the  fabrics  themselves  be  very  different,  except  in  general 
appearance.  It  is  an  easy  matter  to  use  a  half  size  smaller  wire  for  the  pickets  and  to  say 

nothing  whatever  about  the  size  of  the  strand  wires;  to  use  Bessemer  instead  of  Basic  steel  wire; 

to  make  the  pickets  wider;  or  to  omit  hammering  the  fabric  as  it  is  being  made.  All  of  this 

would  make  the  fabric  cheaper  to  manufacture,  but  makes  it  very  expensive  for  the  person  who 

buys  it,  simply  because  he  is  investing  his  money  in  an  inferior  product  that  cannot  last. 

Cl  Hoosier  fabrics  are  made  of  the  very  best  Basic  open  hearth  steel  wire  that  can  be  made,  and 
this  wire  is  galvanized  extra  heavy — in  fact  it  is  galvanized  twice,  so  that  it  will  stand  exposure 
to  all  kinds  of  weather  for  years  and  years  without  rusting.  In  our  twisted  wire  fabrics  every 
picket  is  uniformly  twisted  and  shaped  so  that  the  whole  fence  is  perfectly  symmetrical.  In  our 
crimped  wire  fabrics  special  care  is  taken  not  to  injure  the  galvanizing,  so  that  it  will  not  rust  as 
quickly  as  other  crimped  wire  fabrics.  No  doubt  you  wonder  why  we  take  so  much  more  pains 
than  other  manufacturers.  Our  only  reason  is  that  Hoosier  Fences  have  always  had  the  reputation 
of  being  the  very  best  made,  and  we  intend  they  always  shall  be.  Then  every  owner  of  Hoosier 
Fencing  will  be  a  “Booster”  for  Hoosier  Fencing,  and  our  business  cannot  help  but  grow  and  grow. 


Cl  Below  each  illustration  of  our  nine  different  styles  of  wire  fabrics  you  will  find  full  specifications 
regarding  size  of  both  pickets  and  strand  wires,  details  of  construction,  etc.  Nothing  is  left  in¬ 
definite  and  you  know  exactly  what  you  will  receive  for  your  money. 

Cl  Remember,  every  Hoosier  product  is  guaranteed  to  be  exactly  as  represented  and  first  class  in 
every  respect,  or  your  money  will  be  refunded.

Double  Drive  Gate 


The  above  illustration  will  give  you  a  good  idea  of  the  beautiful  and  substan¬ 
tial  construction  of  our  double  drive  gates.  While  this  shows  a  Standard  double 
gate,  the  Peerless  and  Defiance  gates  are  practically  the  same,  except  in  size  of 
frame  and  style  of  wire  fabric.  You  will  find  complete  specifications  covering  these 
points  on  opposite  page. 

All  double  gates  are  furnished  with  an  anchor  and  special  fittings,  so  that  one 
half  may  be  made  stationary,  and  the  other  half  be  used  as  a  walk  gate,  when  full 
opening  is  not  required.  In  all  double  gates,  where  each  section  is  6  feet  or  over, 
we  place  a  substantial  upright  brace  in  the  center,  and  also  use  a  diagonal  brace  of 
%-inch  steel,  as  shown  in  our  single  drive  gate. 

Hoosier  Gates  are  made  to  give  satisfaction. 


The  Standard  single  drive  gate,  illustrated  above,  will  give  you  a  good  idea  of 
the  construction  of  all  of  our  single  gates.  The  Peerless  and  Defiance  single  gates 
are  practically  the  same,  except  in  size  of  frame  and  style  of  wire  fabric,  l’ou  will 
find  full  specifications  covering  these  points  on  opposite  page. 

Careful  attention  is  paid  to  the  bracing  of  these  gates,  and  they  can  be  relied 
upon  to  give  perfect  satisfaction.  All  gates  over  6  feet  are  fitted  with  a  substantial 
upright  brace  in  the  center,  and  the  frames  are  also  braced  diagonally  with  a 
%-inch  steel  rod  that  makes  sagging  impossible. 

The  scrolls  of  Hoosier  Gates  are  beautiful  and  symmetrical  in  design,  and  con¬ 
tain  more  heavy  wrought  steel  than  any  other  gate  made.  That's  another  example 
of  Hoosier  quality.

Arch  No.  1 

THIS  arch,  though  neither  elab- 
orat ;  nor  expensive,  has  proven 
to  be  our  most  popular  design, 
and  there  is  scarcely  a  community  of 
any  size  in  the  United  States  where 
there  is  not  one  or  more  of  these 
arches  in  use  as  an  entrance  to  some 
cemetery,  park,  school  ground,  or 
country  home. 

The  arch  proper  is  one  piece  of 
solid  casting — even  the  letters  of  the 
inscription  being  cast  ints  place.  The 
scrolls  are  of  wrought  steel.  Arch 
posts  are  2 '/^ -inch  tubular  steel  with 
heavy  cast  iron  bases  and  substantial 
braces.  All  arches  are  built  to  clear 
11  feet  in  height,  unless  otherwise 
ordered. 

Our  prices  include  complete  arch 
with  any  desired  inscription  in  plain 
gilt  letter,  and  double  gates  to  match 
fencing.

Arch  No.  2 

ANY  cemetery  association  buying 
Arch  No.  2  can  rest  assured 
that  they  are  getting  a  much 
better  arch  than  will  be  found  at  the 
ordinary  cemetery.  It  is  very  elabor¬ 
ate  and  is  indeed  a  beautiful  example 
of  the  iron  workers’  art.  Competitors 
frankly  admit  that  they  have  nothing 
to  equal  it. 

The  arch  proper  is  heavy  cast  iron, 
with  the  letters  of  the  inscription  cast 
into  position.  The  double  posts  are 
made  of  2 -inch  tubular  steel,  with 
beautifully  designed  heavy  wrought 
scrolls  between  them.  Each  double 
post  has  two  large  cast  bases  and  a 
substantial  brace.  Center  arch  is 
built  to  clear  11  feet  in  height,  unless 
otherwise  ordered. 

Our  prices  include  complete  arch, 
with  any  desired  inscription  in  plain

Arch  No.  3 

OWING  to  the  different  con¬ 
struction,  this  arch  is  some¬ 
what  lower  in  price  than  our 
heavy  cast  arches,  but  can  be  relied 
upon  to  give  perfect  satisfaction.  It 
makes  an  attractive  entrance  for 
school  grounds,  country  homes,  ceme¬ 
teries,  parks,  etc. 

The  frame  of  this  arch  is  made  of 
1%-inch  heavy  tubular  steel,  and  the 
scrolls  are  of  wrought  steel.  Posts 
are  2  -inch  tubular  steel,  with  heavy 
cast  iron  bases.  Lettering  is  of  heavy 
galvanized  sheet  steel,  finished  in  gilt. 
All  drive  gate  arches  are  made  to 
clear  11  feet  in  height,  unless  other¬ 
wise  ordered. 

Our  prices  include  complete  arch, 
with  any  desired  inscription,  and 
gates  to  match  fencing.

Cemetery  Lot  Fence 

WHEN  fencing  a  cemetery  lot, 
there  are  two  points  to  be 
considered — the  beauty  of 
the  fence  itself,  and  the  protection 
that  it  will  afford.  In  every  cemetery 
there  is  more  or  less  trespassing, 
though  often  it  is  unknown  even  to 
the  persons  most  interested. 

A  Hoosier  Fence  will  be  a  decided 
improvement  for  any  lot  and  will  in¬ 
sure  the  desired  privacy,  at  a  very 
small  cost.  A  fence  of  this  kind  is 
especially  desirable  in  the  smaller 
cemeteries,  where  the  best  of  care  is 
not  —  ‘ntained,  for  it  makes  the  lot 
exclusive  and  the  owner  can  give  it 
private  care  and  attention. 

Any  of  the  various  styles  of  fenc¬ 
ing  illustrated  herein  are  suitable  for 
this  purpose,  and  the  selection  is  only 
a  matter  of  personal  choice. 


WHY 

SOME 

POSTS 

LAST 

AND 

WHY 

OTHERS 

DON’T 


“74--vj  EOPLE  often  wonder  why  some  iron  posts  will  stand  for  a  quarter  of  a  century  without  any 
perceptible  signs  of  rusting,  when  other  iron  posts  rust  out  in  two  or  three  seasons.  We 
can  tell  you  frankly,  it  is  merely  a  question  of  using  the  right  kind  of  material  and  enough 
€£j£S>ll  of  it,  for  the  bases  of  the  posts.  After  years  of  experimenting,  we  decided  to  use  special 
cast  gray  iron  bases  on  all  of  our  posts.  Although  we  could  make  cheaper  bases,  we  much  prefer 
to  stand  the  extra  cost  and  furnish  posts  that  will  give  perfect  satisfaction.  Some  manufacturers, 
thinking  only  of  making  a  sale  and  as  much  profit  as  possible,  are  using  steel  and  wrought  iron 
bases,  because  they  are  lighter  and  cheaper,  even  though  they  know  such  bases  cannot  last  any  length 
of  time. 

a  Cast  gray  iron,  being  a  natural  product  of  the  earth,  will  not  rust  in  the  ground — that  explains 
why  Hoosier  Fences  all  over  the  United  States,  erected  more  than  twenty  years  ago,  are  standing 
just  as  solid  as  the  day  they  were  built.  The  ore  is  melted  into  pig  iron  and  from  this  we  cast 
all  of  our  post  bases  and  tops.  There  are  some  light  cast  bases  being  made,  and  some  are  cast  from 
scrap  iron,  but  they  are  not  Hoosier.  The  life  of  a  fence  depends  entirely  on  the  part  that  holds 
it  up,  so  it  is  most  important  that  the  bases  be  of  proper  size  and  made  of  a  material  that  will 
last.  Every  Hoosier  post  has  a  heavy  cast  gray  iron  base  (the  heaviest  made)  that  cannot  be 
raised  or  affected  in  any  way  by  frost,  will  never  rust  or  corrode,  and  will  last  for  ages.  Ask  any¬ 
one  familiar  with  iron  and  he  will  verify  our  statements. 

Cl  Another  feature  that  makes  Hoosier  posts  last  so  well  is  the  special  collar  on  the  post  base — one 
of  the  many  features  that  has  given  Hoosier  Fences  the  reputation  of  being  the  very  best  made. 
This  collar  projects  about  one  inch  above  the  surface  of  the  ground  and  protects  the  pipe.  If  the 
dirt  was  allowed  to  touch  the  pipe,  it  would  hold  moisture,  and  the  pipe  would  rust  off  just  above 
the  base,  as  many  other  posts  do. 

Cl  We  look  after  the  interest  of  those  who  buy  Hoosier  Fences  and  fully  guarantee  every  Hoosier 
product.
